Tea Party, 213 can't beat Avril
By


Rap supergroup 213 and Canadian rockers The Tea Party made top 5 debuts on the Canadian retail album chart this week, but they couldn't unseat Avril Lavigne from the No. 1 position.

Nielsen SoundScan reports that Lavigne's "Under My Skin" remained the most popular album in the country for a seventh straight week, selling 9,900 copies.

Lavigne is now eying the chart record for consecutive weeks at No. 1, currently held by Shania Twain's "Up!," which held the top spot on the Nielsen SoundScan album charts for 11 consecutive weeks in 2002/2003.

213, featuring Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Nate Dogg, had the top debut of the week at No. 3 with their album "The Hard Way" (8,400).

The Tea Party's sixth album "Seven Circles" checked in at No. 5 with sales of 7,600. The disc is the first new material from the band since "The Interzone Mantras," which debuted at No. 4 with first-week sales of 17,300 back in October of 2001.

Gary Beals self-titled CD had the final top 10 debut of the week at No. 10.

Closer to the top, Usher's "Confessions" remained at No. 2, while the Black Eyed Peas' "Elephunk" dropped one spot to No. 4 after 61 weeks on the charts.

Maroon 5's "Songs About Jane" and Evanescence's "Fallen" both fell two places to No. 6 and No. 7, respectively.

Guns N' Roses "Greatest Hits" occupied the No. 8 position, and the soundtrack to "A Cinderella Story" sank three positions to No. 9.

In the U.S., the compilation "Now 16" reclaimed the No. 1 spot, bumping Ashlee Simpson's "Autobiography" down to second. Prince's "Musicology" came third, 213 in fourth, and Usher in fifth.
